There is one custom that should
be relegated to the dark past, that
OF people returning thanks to their
neighbofs and friends for services at
burinls. as if d christian. duty did
not demand such services. There is
not nor cannot be gratitude for duty
and . christian act is simply the ful-
filiment Of duty's command. To
thank our friends for preparing the
funeral Of our loved ones and fol-
lowing their corpses to the grave
yard il not only preposterous, but it
il nnchristian and barbarous. Let
us be done with the offensive prac-
tice. III our life has been such that
We must bribe our neighbors by a
card Of thanks TO bury lis, leave us
on top rather than insult our virtues
by exalting our vices.-E.

 The Governor will not issue passes or in- vitations to camp this year, but the regimen tai commanders will probably extend the usual courtesies to their friends.

The burial is to be in the Roman Catholic cemetery, Hamden. MT. Perry, organist at the Davenport church, New Haven, and his invalid mother and little sister are boarding with Mrs. Charles Turner at Mir.

 J. w. Futile was on load of hay driving up hill one day last week when bolt in the | wagon gave way and he was thrown from the load holding the reins to the horses while the load of hay went safely back to the foot of the hill. MT. Futile was muoh hurt, but no bones broken, and the next day he tried a moving machine and in reaching to move some obstruction from the wheel found that his hurt of the day before would not allow the use of his arms and he fell from the machine and lay some time again for help. He will probably be lame some time.
